Highway electric power generator

摘要

A system embedded in a road surface generates power from the passage of motor vehicles. It activates only when vehicles with axles overpass it in the prescribed direction. The power generating device includes a grill and actuating arms, actuating buttons, and a vehicle sensing device for ensuring the system does not activate when motorcycles pass over it. The actuating arms are connected to shafts and gears for transferring vehicular movement into rotational energy to a turbine placed at the side of the road. A speed brake, flywheel and transmission regulate the rotation speed of the generator motor for optimal production of electricity.
